A friend on Facebook published a giant list of political-news links, one more stress-inducing and hyperbolic than the next. His friends commented about their existential angst and hair-pulling in response to the worst onslaught that the worst has had to offer to any group of people ever. To soothe the souls of these benighted individuals, I offer some distraction. During dinner last night, we entertained ourselves instead with the following rabbit-hole of YouTube videos, starring Robin Williams, Craig Ferguson, Chris Rock and Dara Ó Briain. Best enjoyed with cocktails, if that's your thing. For once, the epithet "best" in the title of the first video is not even that big of an exaggeration. <ul> <media href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvPxRyIWWX8" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/lvPxRyIWWX8" caption="The Best Interview In The History Of Television [Robin Williams]" source="YouTube" width="560px"> <media href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHrsuIrThGU" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/PHrsuIrThGU" caption="Robin Williams Has a Name for His Penis on Craig Ferguson" source="YouTube" width="560px"> <media href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF7TXHDwpX8" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/IF7TXHDwpX8" caption="Robin Williams (Craig Ferguson show)" source="YouTube" width="560px"> <media href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSgWdx2Wq30" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/MSgWdx2Wq30" caption="ROBIN WILLIAMS - NON-STOP/AT HIS BEST" source="YouTube" width="560px"> <media href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fguzyMUctdE" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/fguzyMUctdE" caption="CHRIS ROCK - DAMN YOU, WILL SMITH" source="YouTube" width="560px"> <media href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmbcIfi2_PA" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/LmbcIfi2_PA" caption="dara o brian - what to do if theres a burglar in your house" source="YouTube" width="560px"> </ul>
